I may need to work with Ranorex Automation tool for automating
NW.js Desktop based web technologies implemented
can anyone please share your work experiences with this tool?
Thanks,
Vijay
Is there any particular reason why you would want to use Ranorex for this work.
Have you considered Selenium which is free and should work great with NW.js

I have some programming experience and want to switch to QA roles that suit my skills better, I have more knowledge of Java but some Python.
I am wondering if I should focus on Selenium that I have some knowledge of or Protractor or Cypress that are considered as the latest standards?
I am more of a front end guy as a developer.
Also, I generally use guru99, tutorialspoint or w3schools to get started. Any other great resources for free or less expensive for quick learning for these topics?
Will cloud upgrades affect this learning process?
Please advice.
Selenium is still the most wide used web UI automation tool, having a lot of tutorials for any level of experience etc. Also, once you know one tool, you will be able to learn other similar tools in the future easily. Also, Selenium supports and mainly used in programming languages you already know while the other tools you mentioned using JavaScript. So, I'd advice you to start (and then continue) with Selenium.
I think Protractor is being dropped by Angular in favor of Cypress.
Please see
The State of end-to-end testing with Angular
...we’ve decided to deprecate Protractor
and #cypress/schematic.
Component testing
Also consider that Cypress has first-class component testing (as well as e2e testing) which has better speed than e2e but better coverage than unit testing.

I have to write a recorder and playback feature for browser based applications. I am first exploring the open source alternatives available. I am fluent with java. I am wondering in which language selenium ide written in?. My research shows javascript, but still would like to confirm it with someone who is familiar with this domain.
Thanks,
Seems to be javascript.
It's an open source project so you can see the code here https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium-ide
I want to automate testing of java based applications, not exactly portals though.
RFT 7 version that we have is not compatible with latest version of Firefox, so we need another tool, preferably open source.
Please suggest some replacement for Selenium and RFT. The purpose is automation of Functional testing.
I think you meant "Web applications", since that's what Selenium is for.
I suggest Sahi Open Source: works with many browsers, OS independent. I've never used it though, so can't give you a proper review.
Both RFT (Rational Functional Tester) and Selenium is used for Functional & Regression test of web. RFT is commercial & Selenium is open source/free tool.
There are some other free tools that you can try. Such as
TestProject
Sahi
Watir
I am a beginner to testing and I have to use Selenium IDE in my project.
Can anyone help me in gaining the starting stuff, links containing detailed demo on Selenium, and how to run test cases using Selenium IDE tool?
Here is a tutorial that might help you.
There are a couple of good videos online as well, an example one here
Here is very good material about selenium IDE. Described selenium IDE commands with proper practical examples.
Follow the link from where you can start up with selenium IDE and go on further
http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/02_selenium_ide.jsp
It will be very helpful for you.
I am looking at some options for using a web automated framework. I have so far looked at Selenium and Web Test (part of Visual Studio), Web Test does not test any client side code, so that kind of rules that one out. Selenium has most the features needed although I need to generate the .NET code for the tests, so that I can run the tests under TFS build server.
Is selenium the best automated testing web framework, or is there anything else worth looking at that could integrate with .NET and the TFS build. Ideally I want minimal code changes if any.
Appreciate your thoughts
Cheers
I've been constantly frustrated with Web Test in Visual Studio, though I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say it can't test client side code.
For developer community support, ease of use, and cross platform access, I'd say Selenium is the hands down winner for programmatic browser automation. Selenium 2 works on every major OS/browser and even mobile.
I've tried WaitN and found some bugs in recent version of IE. There was a recent 2.0 release that has probably worked things out, but there are so many more people using Selenium it's worth relying on that community.
Selenium can generate C#. You can use the Selenium libraries in a C# class to create a web UI test library. Selenium is probably the most common tool.
Another option is WatiN, which is a descendant of Watir for .NET. It's another web UI automation library
This StackOverflow thread discusses using the two to test ASP .NET webforms, and might give you a good set of concepts to start from. My experience with the two is that they were both nice. I would go with Selenium if working with non-programming testers due to its great record-and-playback tools (for Firefox), and WatiN if working with SDETs / developers due to its richer libraries. When in doubt, Selenium is more common and more frequently used.
I've been using Selenium 2.0 (the C# bindings in particular) / NUnit / Hudson. Works well, and Selenium 2.0 is constantly improving and working out the remaining bugs
